IBM Engineering Workflow Management

IBM Engineering Test Management

IBM Engineering Test Management (ETM) (formerly Rational Quality Manager) is accessed via the IBM Engineering Workflow Management application. Therefore, IBM Engineering Test Management will have the same supported features, artifact types, field types, and functional limitations as IBM Engineering Workflow Management. 

To access IBM ETM, you will configure a repository connection to IBM Engineering Workflow Management within the Viz application. See the instructions below for more details.

Minimal User Permissions & Viz User

We recommend that you create a new user within your external tool, to be used only for Viz. This is the user information you will enter when setting up your tool connection within Planview Viz. By creating a new user, you will ensure that the correct permissions are granted.

In general, your user account should have sufficient permissions to read artifacts in your tool. 

Your user should have a secure password or token. Please be aware that Viz will not allow you to save a tool connection utilizing a weak password/token, such as 'tasktop.'

See instructions on how to create a new user in IBM Engineering Workflow Management.
